    Your problem is getting the Telewest box open without the correct tool. There is an isolated diplexer inside the box. You can unscrew the incoming cable from this & then re-attach. The modern equivalent is a lot smaller, so you might want to get a technician in to change it. Cost is £25 flat rate.

    theres 2 ends to the cable so if you cannot open the internal box and you can see the external wall box open that and disconnect the cable in there then pull it through the old window frame and then refit it via a drilled hole in the wall - or get VM to do it at a cost of £25
